‘American Idol’ Expert Jim Cantiello Is Worried Kris Allen Is On His Way Out
It’s been well over an hour since Danny Gokey imitated a velociraptor on the “American Idol” stage, but my poor ears have not recovered. But I still need to predict my bottom three for Wednesday night’s results show. (I have such a great track record, what with predicting Allison going home last week, I just know you’re all back clamoring for more of my inane “Idol” musings.)
I’m not sure if they will even do a bottom three Wednesday night, considering there are only four left, but for the sake of this blog (and my “Idol” pool) let’s pretend they will.
Spot #3: Danny Gokey
In many ways, this third-place slot will tell us who will win “American Idol” this year. If Danny Gokey avoids the bottom three and it’s Adam Lambert here, we all know that Gokey is going for the gold. After Adam ruled rock night while Danny Gokey floundered with an amateurish and sometimes-embarrassing Aerosmith cover, I can’t fathom Danny being the top vote-getter of the week. YET, if he does, indeed, pull off avoiding the bottom three Wednesday night, as he has every other results show, he is unstoppable. Here’s why I don’t see Adam in the bottom: His fans are energized after last week’s shocking bottom-two placement. They vowed to never vote-split again, which is bad news for the remaining contestants.
Spot #2: Allison Iraheta
My girl had the difficult task of following Adam’s insanely good Led Zeppelin opener, and then she took it upon herself to get all “Lil Rounds” on the judges after they knocked her Janis Joplin tune. Her sass wasn’t a great note to end on, but luckily she redeemed herself with a playful, irresistible Adam Lambert duet. As Simon said to Adam: “You may have given this one a chance at staying in the competition because of that.” Fingers crossed!
Going Home: (sniff sniff) Kris Allen
I thought Kris would be able to pull off a rock song, but instead he choked. Big time. His “Come Together” wasn’t a total disaster. It was even worse: It was forgettable. Carly Smithson delivered the goods with the same song last season. Kris’ straight-boy take on the song was dullsville. His drab duet with Danny didn’t pull him any favors either, although he won points in my book when, after that performance, he looked as though he was going to deck the Gokester. Awkward! Unless all the teenyboppers rally (which, if you look at the Jonas Brothers’ career trajectory, isn’t very reliable), Kris’ journey is over … until he releases a hit record with Jamie Foxx.
